Operations Coordinator Boston University Hillel Role Overview Join Boston University Hillel as our Operations Coordinator and help keep our space welcoming and working well for students. This role is great if you have a little work experience and enjoy hands-on tasks that make events and everyday life run smoothly. Our building gets over 30,000 student visits a year—four floors with programming space, dining, lounges, and offices—so you’ll be part of a busy, friendly place on campus. You’ll work with the Chief Operating Officer and the rest of the staff to support daily operations and programs.

This is a full-time, in-person position. Typical hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, with occasional evenings or weekends (about 1–2 per month). Coverage for major Jewish holidays—especially Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Passover—is required for program support. What You’ll Do Help keep the building running: coordinate regular maintenance and custodial services, report small repair needs, and make sure spaces feel safe and welcoming. Staff and support the front desk: help train and supervise student front-desk workers and fill in when a shift needs coverage. Assist with security and access: learn basic security procedures, help handle after-hours facility issues, and assist with keys or card access. Handle outside requests and rentals: help coordinate visits from groups outside Hillel, assist with contracts and event setup, and help with post-event tasks. Support weekly and holiday meals, classes and events: help with logistics for Shabbat and holiday meals and other large events (including occasional evenings/weekends). Help with projects as needed: assist the COO on special projects and suggest ways to make things run smoother. Who We're Looking For Comfortable with hands-on work (tidying rooms, moving furniture, basic upkeep). Attentive to detail and service-oriented, keeping spaces neat, clean, and orderly. Responsive to email and able to follow up when issues come up. Good with people and happy to support students, staff, and visitors. Willing to learn building systems and follow safety and security guidelines. Organized and able to juggle several small tasks at once. Why You Might Like This Job A friendly, busy campus environment with lots of student interaction. Clear, practical responsibilities—good if you’re starting your career. Opportunities for mentorship and learning about operations and nonprofit work. If this sounds like a place where you can jump in and help students and staff thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
